Their newest release, “Overdrive”, is a tip of the hat to 70’s Hard Rock, and a continuation of Shonen Knife’s journey into the musings of food, fantasy and daily life in the Far Eastern metropolis of Osaka we’ve come to know and love.

“Overdrive” features 10 new songs penned by founding member and principal songwriter Naoko who continues to grow the 30 plus year legacy of Japan’s most recognizable name in indie rock. The band is rounded out with 2 songs sung by bassist Ritsuko and drummer Emi, a lineup consistently rocking since 2010.

“Overdrive” will be available in N. America on Good Charamel Records onApril 15th 2014 and is now available for Pre-Sale in the Good Charamel Online Store. Shonen Knife is currently scheduled for tours of Japan and Europe and are scheduled a North American tour for September and October of 2014.

Kimi Shelter and her gang StarBenders have concocted the perfect alchemic blend of rock and roll power with "stuck in your brain" pop melodies. Not only is Miss Shelter one hell of a guitar player but her voice and song grab you by the throat. Imagine Iggy Pop playing 7 minutes in heaven with Katy Perry. Look out for these celestial kids to bend your ears and hearts on stages across this here blue marble.

Floral print is comprised of Nathan Springer and Paul DeMerritt, two bespectacled friends living in East Atlanta. Beginning in the latter half of 2014, the pair quickly developed an earnest and expressive approach to songwriting. Goldflakepaint described their debut mini-album woo as “gloriously vague, the kind of emo-rock/post-pop hybrid that rumbles away in the shadow before suddenly appearing in the forefront of everything.” They’ve since maintained a consistent presence on the East Coast and Midwest, touring in support of new material as well as old.
